Hi @openeyestotheworld !
I am not sure but this may help you with the fonts issue:
sudo apt-get install xfonts-intl-chinese fonts-arphic-ukai fonts-arphic-uming fonts-wqy-microhei fonts-wqy-zenhei
For Chinese input, please try this:
sudo apt-get install ibus-pinyin and then configure to add pinyin by typing ibus-setup in a console.
Please let me know whether it works for you or nor. 
It’s a typo. It should be fonts-wqy-zenhei not fonnts-wqy-zenhei
I’m correcting it and trying to continue

Thank you very much! I installed Chinese input successful!But the interface language is still English,not Chinese
Could you please try this in a console: kdesudo whonix-setup-wizard locale_settings and then select other?
The softwares provided in Whonix does not support Chinese currently. So if this issue is resolved, it means the fronts installation does help:
It means couldn’t change system language ?In this instruction,it seems useful but i don’t known how to install chinese.I tried follow it but doesn’t workHow to change the User Interface Language for your Operating System and Tor Browser.I followed your instructions in new Whonix,just installed fonts and input,not set system language yet.
You can change it with:
kdesudo whonix-setup-wizard locale_settings
It just a english in the language list,no way to swith another language
That’s true. This will fix it:
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends kde-l10n-zhcn kde-l10n-zhtw
BTW, have the 口口口口 issue been resolved by only installing all fronts?
You are a great man!I installed fonts,language and input successed!The 口口口口 issue had been resolved,Thank you again!I will record the code that you gave me as my experience!

Are you very welcome! 
For your information, Whonix is working on supporting Chinese by default:
I am wondering if you would like to offer some help so that more Chinese people can enjoy the Whonix? For example, the work can be:
- testing Chinese in Whonix and reporting any unsatisfying experience
- documenting how to install and configure Chinese front, input method and language
- translating important Whonix Wiki guide into Chinese

I’d like to join you and offer help to Chinese people,but I’m lack in confidence with it beacuse I use Whonix(Linux) just weeks and my English is not good,so I’m not competent to do this work well.
